Removing a small dent?

Does any one know of a good method of removing a small dent in the upper part of the door? I think i got hit with a baseball but the dent isnt very big. I hate to spand the $$$ on a body shop, when I'm the only one who notices it.

Thanks,

Blaze

if you can get in there with your fingers you can sometimes push it back out. Maybe try some sort of tool to get back in there and push on it.

Paintless dent repair. If it is ontop of the door where they can get to it thru the windows seal, then it should be a cheap repair.

There isn't much you can do unless you can get something behind the dent to press it outward.

Believe it or not I just saw some infomercial thing about a dent remover for small dents for $30 or so bucks. I don't remember what the name of it was, but it's running all the time so if I see it again I'll post. They were actually pulling small dents out on the infomercial (yeah I know they do a lot of "stuff" on an informercial).

I just had the paintless dent removal done in a couple of spots on mine 2 days ago. One in the door, although a little lower and more toward the handle side than yours, and one in the tailgate. Can't tell they were ever there. They have tools that will fit through just about any existing hole there. They went behind the window seal and in through the tailgate latch hole on mine. Took him a grand total of about 30 minutes for both. Probably the best $35 I've spent on my truck.
